Super nice spot! Very easy to find and instructions were really clear. The welcome information was really nice to have with good recommendations for the area and what to know about the property.

This was a great Hipcamp that is very close to the metro. You pass through the hobby farm and the sites are heavily wooded and fairly private. Jon had great communication and was kind and accommodating. We had been looking for a place very last minute and he helped us out immensely. Highly recommended!

We had a great time tent camping here! It was private and close to nice parks and stores for anything we needed last minute. It fit all 7 of us and 3 cars comfortably.

Tent camped on site one and it was lovely! We got in pretty late so we didn’t get to enjoy the nice fire pit as we were just setting up to sleep. Got up in the AM and took a short walk to see the pretty horses, chicken, and turkeys. The turkeys have pretty big personalities! 10/10

We had a fun time at the Shady Hideaway site! My husband and I, unfortunately, had a rainstorm roll in the first day of our weekend trip, but we still had a lovely time just relaxing in the tent and listening to the rain. The site is very private and a great location to relax and enjoy a weekend out of the cities. We also got to see some super cute goats down the path!

Well kept and very private---we set up camp at site 2 and were very pleased with the space.
Thank you

We had a great time here. It’s a really nice setup. The camp sites are well laid out and our kids had a lot of fun checking out the animals and exploring.

Other campsite was having karaoke night with a bunch of people past midnight and Jon took care of our so we could get some sleep!
Campsite 1 is on a slope so choose your tent pad wisely. Really enjoyed camping so close to the twin cities and we visited Lake George (lovely beach) and Rum River Regional Park for some biking and running through the woods on great paved trails. Water source is in the wood cabinet directly to your left through the red barn’s main door.

It would have been more convenient if the firewood and starters I ordered were dropped off at the camping site, rather than at the beginning of the road to it. I had to drive back through gates to pick it up after I had gotten my van all situated.

Site 1 - The Shady Hideaway
We took our dog on her first camping trip and Jon's place was the perfect spot. We had plenty of room to spread out, and loved having a few tree options both for putting up our dog tether but also for our hammock. It was much more secluded than if we had gone to our local county park, but we still felt close enough to civilization that we could feel comfortable with our pup's first camp experience. We enjoyed the Turkey, as all previous reviews mentioned. We also got to meet some nice goats and visit their farm stand to pick up some coffee on our way out.
The instructions for this site were very clear and the messages/instructions we received we really helpful in helping us get to the site and know what was expected of us. The bathroom was quite nice/spacious and not too far away.
We only stayed for one night but we really enjoyed ourselves and would go back again sometime.

Site 1 - The Shady Hideaway
It’s a nice spot but not described accurately. The site is noticeably slanted. We had a brutal storm and the tent at the bottom flooded. Everything was constantly falling because there wasn't a flat surface. Not the host’s fault, but it should be disclosed. The “potable” water was hard to find and not nice to drink. The first night we got there we walked all over trying to find the water. The barn we suspected was all closed up. Luckily we brought some with us so we used that and looked again the next day. It was in that barn. Adding a sign would be helpful as there are multiple structures. The water smelled and tasted very sulfurous and wasn't pleasant to drink. I would have happily brought my backcountry water filter if I'd known this. The biggest issue by far was that the site was described with a grate for cooking. We were counting on that. We found *four* broken pieces of cast iron scattered around the site. I messaged Jon and asked if he had a grate we could use. His response - the grate is a little broken just prop up the pieces. Over the fire. With our food on it. His other suggestion was to steal the other sites grill. Which was CEMENTED into place and didn't have removable parts. I was pretty frustrated with that response. We ended up buying a grate to cook on. It would have been nice if the host had said hello or asked how we were doing even once in 4 days.
✅ My dog loved roaming free. Super easy drive from Mpls. Feels perfectly secluded. Huge space! Peaceful ☮️

This location was perfect and we loved the isolated feeling! The animals were really adorable and entertaining, it’s truly a beautiful and serene property. There is a giant turkey guarding the entrance to the property, which made for some great giggles and memories. You can hear some road noise from the camp sites but it’s off in the distance.
We did have some miscommunication with the landowner, he made some updates/changes to the listing after we booked and had some conflicting information on there. Just for the record, NO CAMPERS ALLOWED. I know it says RVs and trailers are allowed on the site details - this is not the case.

Great place. Very shady, cool camping spot. Some noise from a nearby road but it died down dramatically by the time I was ready to sleep. The biggest challenge was the turkey who liked to play chicken with my truck — a very friendly big fella who just wanted to say hello.

Beautiful spot to camp. Plenty of open space and great tree coverage. Easy to find. I really enjoyed the turkey who guards the gates.

Very organized signs and directions to get to the site. The gate system was very easy to figure out and going past the little hobby farm of goats, chickens, horses, etc. was a joy. Fairly well groomed farm road through the woods led to a nicely open, but shady site that was tidy. Fire pit was very nice to use, some fire tools for provided along with a fire extinguisher and a picnic table at the site. Just down the road (a short walking distance) there was an outhouse and water source to wash hands as well as trash cans that made it very easy to clean up after yourself. We very much enjoyed all the bird and farm noises, the space was peaceful and private. There was some road noise but it was distant and didn't really bother us. We would definitely come back!

Although there is road noise, the campsites are back in the woods and you definitely feel isolated. Jon obviously cares about his animals and the property and trees. The site was well-maintained and directions were clear. He answered promptly when I had a question. This is a working farm so you do have to be mindful of gates and livestock as you enter. It's a nice respite from the hustle and bustle. I was only staying one night to break up a long drive but I really enjoyed the peace and scenery.

Had a great time! It was quiet, private, spacious, and easy to get to. The best part was the turkey who lives on the farm spending the entire evening with us and even sleeping in our camp! He was super friendly and brought great vibes. Such a great spot for not being too far from the city. Would highly recommend!

Nice spot to camp just outside of the cities, picnic table, and outhouse was a nice addition. Far enough away from structures and people to enjoy the peace

Beautiful camping spots at the back of their farm, which is fun to drive through and see the different animals. Very secluded and Jon is great. Answers messages on the app quickly but has never bothered me. This is the second time I’ve camped here and definitely recommend it.

The site was great. Really big, flat opening that could accommodate a variety of set ups. It was really tucked back and felt like we were deep in the woods despite being under an hour from the cities. The host sent a really nice welcome packet that made it clear how to get to the site. We will definitely come back.
